I've been hearing rave reviews of Pillsbury's Gluten Free Funfetti Cake Mix, but until this week I couldn't find it in a store near me. Sad, I know. Anyway, I found the Gluten Free Funfetti mix at my local Walmart the other day, and thought I'd share my take on it with y'all! My sister made the mix into cupcakes and topped them with almond buttercream . . . (think delectable wedding cake, y'all!!)

Flavor:Awesome. These taste exactly like what I remember of the glutenous version of Funfetti cupcakes. I'd do a side by side comparison for y'all because I'm pretty sure that they're exactly the same, but I won't be doing that because . . . Gluten! Lol. They are simply delicious with no weird aftertaste like some Gluten Free mixes give you. I'd declare the flavor of these a ten out of ten! :)

Texture:Perfect. There's no dryness or grittiness whatsoever. My favorite part, however, is they are light and airy with no denseness at all.In fact, texturally, these may be the very best cupcakes I've had since going Gluten Free. I'd give the texture a ten out of ten.

Price:Not bad at all. This mix is $2.98 at my Walmart versus around $4.00 for other similar Gluten Free Cake Mixes I have purchased. They're still more expensive than the glutenous version, but that's on par for almost all Gluten Free products. I wasn't shocked or disappointed. I'm giving the price a ten out of ten, because it's more reasonable than any other Gluten Free Cake mixes I've tried.

Overall:I think this mix is absolutely fantastic, the taste is fantastic, they're light and airy and more cost effective than other Gluten Free Cake Mixes I've seen. I'm very excited about this product, and I would definitely recommend it to y'all as well as buying it again myself!! So go out and get one for the weekend, bake it up into cupcakes or another fun application, come back here and post your creation so we can all see how fun the "funfetti" can be!!

As usual, all opinions expressed within this review are mine and mine alone. Pillsbury doesn't have a clue who I am.

As you can tell, they aren't an exact or perfect match to Sulley, but they're pretty close, and would make the PERFECT snack for a movie night . . . assuming you're watching Monsters, Inc!! ;) Or another Pixar Movie!

What's your favorite Pixar Movie? I love Monsters, Inc as much as the next girl, but I'd have to say that my favorite Pixar movie is Brave.

A little back story here, I've always loved Pineapple Upside Down Cake, but have never once made it. In fact, my family has never made it. EVER. Yesterday, everything happened to line up. We happened to have all the ingredients, and I made Pineapple Upside Down Cake for the first time in my LIFE. It was delicious, so I figured I'd share the recipe with y'all! : D So, here we go!!

Ingredients:

1/4 Cup of butter

1 Cup PACKED brown sugar

1 Can of sliced pineapple in 100% Juice. Separate the fruit from the juice, and set the juice aside.

Combine brown sugar and butter in the pan, resulting in something similar to this:

4. Flatten out the butter and sugar mixture. 5. Place the pineapple and cherries into your butter and sugar mixture. It will look like this:

6. Mix together your Yellow Cake Mix according to directions on your box, but instead of using the full amount of milk, use the reserved pineapple juice and the 3 tablespoons of milk. 7. Pour cake mix over the pineapples and cherries, it will look somewhat like this:

8. Put your cake in the oven and bake for about 45 minutes, or until golden brown on top. Make sure that it's done clear through, and allow to cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Once it's out of the oven, it'll look like this:

9. Once it's set, flip onto a plate or serving tray. Voila!

10. Cut into pieces and serve!

I hope y'all enjoy it! My taste tester panel (which includes folks who aren't Gluten Free) said there was no weird or different taste to it based upon its Gluten-Freeness. ;)
